Excerpt from Forty-Sixth Annual Report of the Trustees of the New York State Library, 1864The additions to the library by purchase during the past year have been less in proportion to the whole sum expended than in the preceding year by more than three hundred volumes. This has been caused by the largely advanced prices of books, and it is probable that the. Additions of the present year will be even more Seriously diminished, particularly in foreign books, the pur chases of which beyond pressing necessities, have been almost entirely suspended.Many valuable contributions have been made by the friends of the library, all of which will appear in the appended list of do nations. Among these the Trustees mention specially a valuable collection of, works, chie¿y scientific and foreign, of two hundred and two volumes, from James Lenox, Esq.The system of foreign and domestic exchanges has placed in the library many valuable works, one hundred and four foreign maps, five atlases, and more than three thousand pamphlets. A set of the large county maps of the State, with the exception of those of four counties, has been purchased.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
